Expert Reply:

When we installed the etrailer brand # e98847 receiver hitch on a 2019 Subaru Outback Wagon, we found the receiver height to be right at 16 inches, as shown in the linked install video. The average trailer coupler height is around 16 inches, so a ball mount like # C45010 would be about right. For a 1-7/8 inch trailer ball, I'd recommend # 19260 or # 63845 for a 2 inch ball. For a trailer wiring harness, use # 118467.

I'll link you to installation instructions/videos for the hitch and the wiring harness recommended above.
